Job Queue
A Job Queue is a list of sample processing Jobs. Jobs are executed in the order
displayed on the JOB QUEUE menu screens. New Jobs may be added to the
queue while samples are being processed.
Job
A Job contains the information needed by the LC Injector HTC/HTS to process
multiple samples by the same processing steps. The elements of a Job are a
Method and a Tray that define the location of the samples to be processed. For
identification, Jobs are automatically numbered from 01 to 99 and then
restarting with 01 when they are added to the Job Queue.
Cycle
A Cycle consists of the specific operations necessary to process one sample.
The Cycle operations are repeated for each sample within a Job. Cycles are
designed for specific applications.
Method
A Method defines how the samples are processed. The elements of a Method
are a Cycle, a Syringe and a Parameter List. Methods have names with up to
eight characters and can be edited, copied, and deleted.
Method Parameters
Method Parameters are associated with the Cycle operations. User-assigned
Parameter values define how a processing operation is performed. A zero
Parameter value will disable a Cycle operation. Cycle Parameters are
application-specific.
Tray Holder
A Tray Holder can hold one or more trays. Each Tray Holder has a reference
position (X-, Y-, Z-coordinates) that defines its location.
